Ok, I will try this and send you the trace in email. Actually, I already have. It still looks like it doesn't print everything.

Well... er... since I'm using software that others share out of their good will, I don't expect any support out over what they are prepared to give at any given time. So, no apologies needed. Honest! :-) My postings comes from that I need to think out loud when I work my way through issues, and for gnus-sync, the gnus list seems like the right forum to do so in. :-)
